Translators in Sweden are losing more and more jobs to AI. Author and translator Lisa Fransson from Kronoberg county in southern Sweden sees a risk of major cultural losses. And the Swedish Writers’ Union believes that translators will have a much more boring professional role.

That was also the point of saying “the algorithm” did it.
It’s the exact same thing: stats.
The “hilarious”part is that you can replicate systems that are incredibly complex and use multiple matrices of very diverse data with one or two points. Typically young + Black = No
If I get to it I must dig up the parole system that used all the complexity in the world to end up exactly there.
I saw an ad for Dell PCs with AI, and one of the advantages is supposed to be “Uninterrupted movie nights”. How does that work? If you lose your Internet connection, does it fill in the missing parts with AI generated content…?

QAA Podcast: It Unfortunately Happens On X (E298)
Today’s show is a piñata, and each time a blindfolded Travis takes a swing at it, a new and weirder piece of candy falls to the ground for Jake and Liv to nibble on. First, we’ll be talking about how even conspiracy theorists had to push back against a terribly lazy hoax about VP candidate Tim Walz. Then we’ll be talking to reporter Robyn Pennacchia about her deep dive into a majorly pilled telegram community whose leader disperses intel drops she claims come from both the military and celestial angels. And as a special desert, we’re sitting down with reporter Ken Klippenstein to discuss his recent defeat & subsequent victory against Elon, after Ken linked to his reporting about the JD Vance dossier.

from the guardian article;
“Daenerys” (the name he gave his custom chatbot) at one point asked Setzer if he had devised a plan for killing himself, according to the lawsuit. Setzer admitted that he had but that he did not know if it would succeed or cause him great pain, the complaint alleges. The chatbot allegedly told him: “That’s not a reason not to go through with it.”

Lots of writers and artists think they are being robbed of something by Big AI, even though that view is based on a misunderstanding of how generative AI works.
No they’re not. Saying the models analyze rather than copy is a false dichotomy, comparing it to artists learning from what they see is a false analogy, and however you slice it it’s still using their uncompensated work to replace them. Do better, techdirt.
